Hello Ugonna,

I ran the code and I get 23% for 4945 children. I am slightly off and will have to look into this further. It appears the problem is with the polio and dpt vaccines that are slightly off. The measles and bcg match the report. However, the percentage I get for all basic vaccinations is closer than your value to 22.7% and the number of children matches.

Have you ran the following code before you ran the vaccination code:

gen age = v008 - b3
gen agegroup=0
replace agegroup=1 if age>=12 & age<=23
* selecting children
keep if agegroup==1
keep if b5==1

Thank you.

Shireen
